Abstract

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nursing programs were challenged to continue educating students at practice sites, and educational institutions limited or eliminated face-to-face education. The purpose of this article is to report on a university and community college nursing program and an academic medical center that implemented an academic-practice partnership with the goal of creating opportunities to continue clinical experiences for nursing students during the pandemic. Principles and implementation of this successful partnership provide direction for other nursing programs and practice settings that may continue to have challenges in returning students to clinical and keeping them in clinical as the pandemic continues. •Clinical education is necessary to maintain a pipeline of nurses in the workforce.•Academic-practice partnerships are essential to nurse education during a pandemic.•Our experience is shared planning and implementing a practice/academic partnership.•Principles and strategies to maintain clinical education during crises are provided.
